I noticed that and was slightly surprised. Does anyone know if there is a special visa carve-out for non-degreed Canadians?

- kritiko 5y agoBased on the part of his story about leaving his parents in NY I don’t think he’s Canadian or is dual national.
- cbracken 5y agoAgreed -- the use of the word college (instead of university), high school (instead of secondary or cegep), and a few other cues suggest he probably didn't grow up in Canada.
- wheelinsupial 5y agoLinkedIn shows the author went to high school in New York. Are you sure they are Canadian? I have heard the TN visa for Canadians allows you to substitute something like 3 years of work experience for 1 year equivalency of a college education.
- diskzero 5y agoNot sure why I assumed going to McGill would mean you are Canadian. My mistake!
- wheelinsupial 5y agoIt's probably a fair assumption, though! McGill has around 10% from the US and another 17% of admissions based on high school attended [1]. I have met Americans at other Canadian universities that have dual citizenship, so would be considered Canadians for tuition, but would be considered American from the high school.

- ternus 5y agoThere is not. We looked into this for my Canadian now-wife. If you have no college degree, basically your only immigration options in that case are a work transfer visa, entirely up to the whim of your current employer, or the K1 fiancée to Green Card marriage path. That's it.
